The Smallest Harmonic Index of Trees with Given Maximum Degree

The harmonic index of a graph G, denoted by H(G), is defined as the sum of weights 2/[d(u) + d(v)] over all edges uv of G, where d(u) denotes the degree of a vertex u. In this paper we establish a lower bound on the harmonic index of a tree T.
